GCT Semiconductor and Green Packet will work together on the world’s first intelligent connection management solution that delivers seamless connectivity and handover between WiMax and Wi-Fi.

Green Packet has already signed up WiMax operator Packet One Networks to roll out the innovative Intouch Connectivity Manager in the coming months.

Green Packet’s Intouch Connectivity Manager integrates Green Packet’s mobile IP solution with GCT’s GDM7215, the industry’s first single-chip solution that supports both mobile WiMax IEEE 802.16e Wave 2 and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g. It also supports multiple connection modes such as wide area network and local area network in addition to WiMax and Wi-Fi.

Besides that, the solution incorporates lifestyle features such as communication services, information and entertainment into a single client.
